IN THE HIGH COURT OF NEW ZEALAND HAMILTON REGISTRYDecember 13th, 2021
The plaintiffs, Mr and Mrs Bronlund, bought land near Coromandel. They wished to erect a house upon it. Having made the appropriate applications to the defendant, the Thames Coromandel District Council (“the Council”), it, on 16 August 1991, granted their application for a non notified controlled use and issued a building permit for the planned house. The plaintiffs commenced to build. On 25 February 1993 the Council issued to the plaintiffs a stopwork notice. This was followed by an abatement notice under s 322 of the Resource Management Act 1991. Although the plaintiffs have since undertaken some work on the house, it remains uncompleted. They have commenced these proceedings claiming general, exemplary, and special damages, together with interest and costs, arising out of the Council’s actions in giving the planning consent and issuing the building permit incorrectly.
